In the afternoon, visit the sacred Kashima Shrine, where a special "Kashimadachi” rite ensures safe travels, followed by a guided stroll through Sawara, a historic town dotted with Edo-era warehouses and waterways. The evening unfolds with a full-course French dinner prepared by Executive Chef Eiji Ikeuchi and a relaxed cocktail hour at Lounge Komorebi as night falls.
Day 2: Breezing into the pre-dawn at Nebukawa Station, you’re invited to witness the tranquil sunrise over Sagami Bay, either from the platform or onboard. Afterward, the journey leads to Odawara, where breakfast is served at Shokurakuan Hotoku, featuring regional dishes and seafood. Following breakfast, explore the Hotoku Ninomiya Shrine and the contemporary Enoura Observatory, blending art and architecture with panoramic coastal views. Lunch onboard again precedes your return to Ueno Station, capped with a farewell gathering in Prologue Shiki-Shima.
